The Batman looks amazing, I really can't wait for that one.

Couldn't care less about The Flash though. Really don't enjoy the guy that plays him and I feel like the Keaton stuff is just a cynical nostalgia grab.

According to the internet, Sir Michael Caine has announced that he's retired from acting.

I hope he enjoys his retirement, but what is Christipher Nolan going to do now?

Well shows what the internet knows

So what’s the deal with the DCU with these two movies? Is the new Batman in the current DCU? Does flashpoint mean they will be merging the new Batman into the current DCU timeline?

I don't know anything about Black Adam, but I'm assuming he's the big bad in the Shazam part of the DCU?

I also love how these explorers take heavily armed soldiers of fortune with them on archeological trips

The Batman is not part of the DCU.

The Flash continues the DCU Batman's story.

I think they'll keep them seperate.

Kind of kills the tone they build in that trailer when it cuts to black then fades in with...

A bit annoying as I want film releases to get back to normal however the delays aren't all horrendous.

Bit tedious that they're doing a new Batman, and then just making it so much like the Nolan ones. The scenes where he's in costume look like they could be taken from those films.

I've got no problem with that to be honest. Nolan's interpretation of Batman worked really well for the character and we only had 2 great films out of it.

After the third was such a miss, I'm quite happy for another film along those lines with 2 of the big villains not used by Nolan. Especially as what they're doing in the rest of the DCU doesn't really interest me at all.

Colourless realistic Batman has been done to death. The terrible Riddler design implies the director is actually embarrassed to be making a comic book film.

I don't disagree that the Nolan films were good, and that it would have been cool to see more Batman villains in that setting, but it's also kind of disappointing to see no new spin put on this with a new director and new actor for Batman. Pattinson's performance, at least in the trailers, just seems to be copying what Bale did.

All those bullets fired at his armour plated chest. Why don't they aim for his massive chin?

Exposed jaw, my one weakness!

I also didn't really like how bullet-proof he seemed, he's not supposed to be Robocop. Batman is supposed to be stealthy and acrobatic enough to not be shot at point blank by 2 guys with AK47s.

Other than that though, I'm looking forward to seeing to the movie.

This is precisely what I was thinking!

I thought that trailer was okay, but if a comic book action movie trailer is only making you feel "okay" then that's not really a great sign.

Something seriously wrong with you lot.

I haven't seen green/blue screen that bad since the Star Wars prequels.

[Mafro]

Looks strawberry floating shite.

[Edd]

Not sure why I'm so surprised they've taken a scene straight out of the game.
